Okay, fun facts for this week ... Everyone in the Animal House (the best teams!) Division are all on a 1 game winning streak. And all the Princess teams (okay, the Princess Bride Division teams) are all on a 1 game losing streak.

Also, each division now has the exact same Win/Loss/Tie spread. Top team is 4-1, 3 teams at 3-2, and 2 teams at 1-4.

Edit: Me!

I stopped paying attention after the early games as that was most of my players. Didn't even check after that until today to set this week's line. And somehow I won? Really? with 70 points and 2 starters scoring 0? (ok, one guy scored 0.4)

Thanks! I will. And nice to know I played the optimal team. Still would have won by .52 points if we both played optimal this week.

I had a large number of my better players on bye. Not favored in my match up. Then I get an extra 20 points out of a WR and 15 from an RB. Absent a 50 point performance from my opponent's RB tonight, I think I won. And so far, I did not lose any players this week.

Why didn't you trade one of them for one that wasn't on a Bye?

Or pick up Weeden, Ponder, or Bradford? Weeden got almost 19 points. Just him alone would have gotten you the win.

Although, I do appreciate you losing this week.

What a year.

Tell me about it. Except for Starks & Gould, my bench was on bye or out. Played the Optimal Lineup again this week (Whew!), and instead of losing by 6 points (predicted points), had all but two of my players exceed their projections. And no one got injured (knock on wood!) this week, although Jones sat out the final 2 drives. But then he's my backup for Murray anyway, who will hopefully be back Sunday.

Fun Facts:

I had all but two players (TE & D) over-perform, while the Wookies had the opposite (only WR & D over projected pts).

If Josh Gordon had gotten 8 more points to put him over 20, I would have gotten the Prius Game Changer medal (start a player who scores 20 or more points when they were projected to bring in less than 5).

Not only do I have the Largest Margin of Defeat (Maulers vs. VikingBears - Week 2) at 81.44 points (this year only), I have the Smallest Margin of Defeat (Maulers vs. Columbian Ticklemice - Week 4) at 0.27 points (both this & all time).

0.27 Points!!!!

Of all weeks for Rodgers & Gonzales to score low ... although in the other league, my son has them.

But still would have liked them to score more, since I have Brady & Gronk there. Along with a nice pickup of the Packers D! Just wish I'd picked the Miami D instead of the Jets.

Those two were mentioned because my son had them in the other league (which I am 6-2 in), but they were indicative of my whole team.

"Every one of their nine starters scored less than their projected points." Every one!!!

I was projected at 117+ points, yet scored only 66+ points. And before you hurt yourself trying to pat yourself on the back, let's look at some fun facts:

What If

* If Grey Teeth played Maulers every week, they would be 4-4 this season.
* If they played the same schedule as Maulers, Grey Teeth would be 2-4. (Division)
* If they played the same schedule as Grey Teeth, Maulers would be 5-1. (Division)

As well as ...

Four of the five losses for Maulers this season have come when their opponent had their highest-scoring week of the season.

It's hard to win when your opponents have their highest score for the season. I could easily be 5-1 and you 2-4 if we had swapped schedules.

Oh, and I believe I still have the Highest Weekly Score of 181+ points (week 5).

So let's check that ego at the door .... unless you want White Zin in your Xmas Stocking!

* Draft Day Projections are based on your drafted team and the league settings at the time of your draft.

Current Projections (you might laugh):

* Current Projections are based on your current team's lineup and league settings.

So based on the Draft, I should have been around 7-2 at this point, instead of 3-6.

But I like that they think I will run the next 4 games!

Then I get worried that Ponder (currently 17.84 points) won't do well this week, so I pick up Tannehill (5.58 points currently), hearing that Miami should do well this week.

Doh!

And is anyone else having problems with StatTracker??

Edit: Did I mention I thought about picking up Rivers (22.66 points)? Double Doh!!

I was almost going to lose in my other league (where I'm 7-2) until the two TD's by the Dallas D. Return and INT TD's, Woot!!!

To a team that had Antonio Brown (Out) & Trent Richardson (Bye) on their Starting Roster (Team is 4-5, but looks like the owner forgets to check every so often, he had Spiller on a Bye one week as well.)

Sadly, his team has Drew Brees, Matt Forte, CJ Spiller, & Jason Witten on the starting roster, and Steven Jackson on the bench.

Whew! Gore just scored, which helps more. He still has Austin & Witten now, with Forte tonight, which is why I was worried until the recent scores.

Yeah, probably didn't get the joke. But I still have more projected points there Sparky.

Yes, I call shenanigans!! Cause when I looked earlier at your current roster, and who was on your bench, it was still less.

But then, I'm trembling at the points Reggie got for you tonight.

So fun fact ... both of my opponents this week had their optimal lineups (as did I in the WW league). Sadly, my team fell 10 points short this week (stupid Aaron Rodgers with only 16 points).

In the other league, I'm 9-2, with a 7 game win streak.

Basically, every time you pick a player, you drop in waiver order. So no advantage in waiting to use your waiver pick.

b) Change the Waiver Priority from the current "Continuing Rolling" to Weekly rolling list based on standings. (Waiver claims are processed in reverse order of standings, and each successful claim moves a manager to the end of the waiver priority list.)

This would mean that teams then really need players would have first chance, yet still give other owners a chance with later waivers in the week.

Using A and B would be preferable to me.

#3) Tight Ends. Can we give a full point per reception to TE's?

Waivers? Who needs waivers? I guess I should have paid closer attention. Only 3 pickups the whole season and finished 2nd. The rolling wavers is how my other league does it. Basically reverse order of standings each week.

coynedj wrote:Another change I'd like to see is a reduction in QB points. IIRC, 10 of the top 11 point-scorers this year were QBs - only Adrian Peterson kept it from being an all-QB top 10.

It's not necessarily reducing their points (only 4 pts per throwing TD), but rather increasing the others. Although normally Interceptions are -2 pts. So there is that.

I've been in leagues where we used to give bonus points for distance, both on TD's and for going over 100 yds. So we could do that for everyone other than QB's. Or maybe go a full point per reception, and maybe .5 points per run?

Adding the .5 pts this year for receptions put AP into the #5 spot, instead of being #8 (other league where no pts per reception).

It's early, but I renewed the league and sent out invites last week. Last year's players, please check your email if you want to rejoin (I don't remember which league number this is). There should be four spots available assuming everyone from last year re-ups, so here's the link for anyone interested: http://y.ahoo.it/sEpYFsEQ

Also, let me know if anyone wants to make any changes to the format and/or scoring. We have about three months until the first game. Tentative draft set at Wed, 9/4 at 6:30PM (Pacific time). Season starts 9/5.
